You may want to take a look at the Cremation article; there's a lot more sources cited which may also be useful in this one. :) Lewis Collard 14:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is cremation wrong in the eyes of God?[edit]

I would like to have opinions and knowledge from the bible, if any, about Cremation. I have been considering cremation and my family doesn't feel it is right. They have finally told me if I can find it in the bible saying that it's okay, then they could accept it with me. I even have one family menber that says she is thinking of doing it herself. Please help me and give me some insight unpon the subject. Thank you Pludie

There is no good reason to think that God opposes cremation. Some churches have in the past, but thinking has changed since then. John Carter (talk) 23:05, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

Is there are reason "World" is capitalized in the title? It's not generally how we do our titles. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 18:28, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Updated cremation policy from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints[edit]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints updated their policy on cremation a few years ago to a position not reflected in the current article. It is section 38.7.2 of the church's General Handbook:

https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/general-handbook/38-church-policies-and-guidelines?lang=eng

I tried updating the article, but I was unsure how I should cite a handbook that is now only online. Is there someone who could help me know how to cite a specific section in this online-only handbook? Neutron star 800 (talk) 22:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
